It's not the motivation to stay in power asuch as it is the motivation for PTP to stay relevant. BJT has a strong hold but PTP is a linking ship. They know that they are not going to be able to defeat PP. Smart thing for thaksin is to leave the country or to be smarter and get in the weeds quietly

Simple solution is money but real solutions is put dad on his knees and let other father's do it to him

Let's see what happens

No it has nothing to do with low or high season. Patpong, as it was before COVID, is long gone. I have been going there for 15 years and can tell you that a lot of the places that made it and stalls are gone.

If you did not vote, you have no say in the outcome, and your non-vote is considered a vote for the winning side. Would you drive around in a 40 year old car. Let's face it: The great BOEING company has gone to crap. It needs to be rebooted or let one of its competitors take over. I have a feeling that the Qatari jet will be outfitted with a lot of the things that a President needs already. Let's face it, the people at the top in Qatar need the same protection as TRUMP. My worry is that they are using parts that are older than a lot of people here on teh site

No just not hiding LOL No matter whether he is found guilty or not once the information starts tocome ut he is probably finished. Yes he will stillhve those people that think he is the man. But that crowd is going to shrink very quickly. All the parties will key in on the joke that is Thaksin's non-involvement. If the 3 doctors get suspended you can count on them being 3 witnesses for the prosecution because they are going to want to have the suspensions as short as possible, or keep their licence Again the military Elite and Chidchob would love nothing more than to silence Thaksin. The only hang up is that they need to protect the PTP until the next election. This is the way that they can get what they want and not lose power.

I agree about PATPONG it was dying before Covid. Covid just put the nail in the coffin. It used to be that Patpong night market was the place you had to go to just to see it. But since then, a lot of the restaurants have closed. The ping pong shows are old school, and the girls at the bars are just girls who stand and shift from one foot to the other and are very expensive. The other catch with Patpong is that it is so drab and run-down. Silom now has the Thaniya meat market with all the girls lookingfor the Japanese guy or for entertainment, it has the Silom 4 gay drag bars, which can be entertaining if you are not looking for female company. I'm not sure when the OP went to NANA, but it is still busy with most of the action in the plaza.

No this is the way a lot of these trials go. They find the low hanging fruit charge it then start making deals to get enough info to start getting those higher up. The fact that these 3 have been charged/suspended means tht there is something in the records that shows it was a joke. The people that will start to sweat are the head of the prison and the rest of the staff. Once they start to get info and facts it will be interesting to see how long it takes for Tony to get back on the jet and bly back to live with Sister. Depending on what they find they might have to take his daughter too. As I have said I don't think it will be the end of the PTP but could definitelyuld be the end of the Shin dynasty as far as being PM.

I think if you can find someone to do the housekeeping and then a nurse to pop in to do the meds thing, that is probably the cheapest way

Op says he is in Pathum Thani might try https://www.happyhelp.co.th/super-caregivers or I am sure that he uses a thai hospital in his are they might be able to recommend a nurse to look in on him.

Maybe he can get the same deal as Thaksin One thing for sure he and his company are going to be ont he hook for major money in lawsuits

Doesn't her beauty make you wonder LOL

You misread what I wrote,, sorry for not being clear. most people do not care about Asian countries south of China. They used to care about Afghanistan a little about Pakistan, but as to ASEAN countries, naw unless, as I said you have skin in the game, they really do not care.

Watch being the key word. Never get in reach of one. Why do I have the feeling that very shortly after everything has cleared the social organizations are going to be lobbying to go back to 2 am closing? There were a lot fewer problems then.

LOL you mention risk in growth funds and then do not realize that there are risks in housing rental. Ther are a lot of people on here that are doing very well in rentals. Remember it is ot somuch the house's value as it is the monthly income. 10k a month is still 10k a month no matter what the property is worth. The other question to ask is how many people got rich on just buying a managed fund. Managed funds usually at best equal the stock market andhave fees that can hurt. There are fees for owning ahouse but they are tax deductible I believe. Again it is what you are looking for I would strongly suggest that instead of him settling for a fund, you educate him about his finances. KIyosaki rich dad poor dad is a good place to start.

He is like a lot of the MSM attempting to save their careers that they have now lost. They are all failures.

I did not say that he would divest himself of the party. As he showed while in exile, he can still control the party, just not in as vocal a manner. I do agree, though, that BJT, PTP and a lot of other parties are completely reliant on their financial benefactors. PPP and teh military parties less so. Military is backed by more thanone person and is more broader in support.

I suggest that your son find a good-paying job as soon as possible. Once he does that, he can start his own savings plan. Consider that if you work at a company that has a Provident account but the job is crap, he will possibly be stuck there. Also, the accounts that they put the money into are the Thai stock exchange. To me, the best thing he or she can do is save money, then buy a property that they can rent out The idea is to gain cash flow so that you are not beholden. The old adage of Go to school, get a good education Get a good job at a company with a pension plan You are set for life is no longer valid Especially here.

I would take a trip to Pattaya or Bangkok and talk to the girls. Many are willing to talk about what they are doing and why as long as you are buying drinks lol.

Thais are not taught very much about the outside thailand world, especially history. Most of the history lessons are aboout Bhudda and the country (minus Kanchanburi) As to the bar girls, they have very little knowledge of English. They hear a song with a good beat, and they like it. I was in a major mall and the Thais were playing rap music and the main son had F this and mother F and b!thes. I asked the Thais why they liked it and if they knew the words' meaning, and none had a clue. reminds me of

Yep, add in that supposedly she's knocked up. The story can't get any better. Wonder if Georgia will take custody of the child or if they will let the parents. Goes into court in a crop top and shorts, mmmm, going to be interesting to see the deal her Georgian lawyer makes. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-bella-culley-claims-shes-35222771

Naw if they arrested people for ugly photos, most of us on here would be in the Bangkok Hilton Hotel

In all honesty, I think that unless, like you, a person has some skin in the game, they really do not care. Most countries have enough crap happening in their own borders that they really do not care what is happening outside. You have family living in Thailand, therefore, yes, you will care to that extent. However, unless people are coming here or have been here and are thinking of coming back, they do not care about Asia, which is south of China.

Actually I think the reverse is true. I think inorder to remove Thaksin frm being a pain in hte assets, they will find him guilty. People in the system that have already been compensated will be held responsible Either putting him in jail or letting his jet leave the country would not be a bad thing, nor would charging his daughter and removing her as PM.. The deal, then, is to keep the party alive and therefore the government. The sad part is that we might end up with PM Anutin

The eliltes that run everything I think do not want a coup It is the last thing that they need. Chan O went a little too far and the elites and military are paying for it in the form of the PPP. Any overt action by the military will only strengthen the PPP and those against the military, in that it would further upset the PTP (red) supporters and the PPP orange. Add to that that the PTP has again become the cause of the country's trouble and the lack of direction on the 10K or making life better for Thais.The best thing that could happen right now is that Thaksin get the message that he is a dinosaur and goes to play with he grandkids, let his daughter either develop a plan to help the country, or if she is not able, then for her to resign as PM and put someone in. No one, including the PPP, has come forward with a plan to help the country. The party that makes a plan that can be vetted by experts will emerge from this alive or growing.
